Business Objectives

Business objectives can be defined both for each FMECA system and for the library as a whole. If the user wishes to use the library to quickly set up the asset tree, including auto-filling the effect values, by using a (mass) merge operation, the following rules apply:

• All settings can only be performed on the desktop version

• Both in the library and the target FMECA system the business goals and their effect values must have identical values.

• In the media library list, appropriate effect values defined for the library must be chosen for each row.

• To prepare for an effect value to be filled in from the media library list during a merge operation, instead of a fixed value, the special value <media> must be selected in each appropriate failure mode (see below).

Choose the special value <media> for each failure mode in the library to make it media dependent.

Note: The special value <media> will show up automatically when the option MTTF Correction is activated in the desktop version.
